Yunqing returned to his room and was just about to call Tong Xi when she called him instead. His heart soared with joy, and he couldn't help but chuckle softly.
Could this be a case of mind reading?
"Hey, wifey!"
This time, Yunqing answered the call in seconds, his voice lazy yet carefree.
"Home yet?" Tong Xi asked, though her voice wasn't very loud. Yunqing thought her parents must have already gone to sleep, so she was speaking softly.
After all, it was quite late now.
"Yeah, I'm home. Don't worry, I intended to call you earlier, but I ran into my grandparents downstairs and chatted with them for a bit, got delayed!"
"Oh, well, try not to come home so late in the future. Don't want to keep waking your grandparents. Older folks sleep lightly, and if they wake up, it can be hard for them to fall back asleep, which isn't good for their health."
